Our take
Cannabis is the most widely produced and consumed drug in the world, but until relatively recently this market remained underground. An increasing number of US states, however, are opting to legalize cannabis, opening up a highly lucrative market opportunity that businesses are looking to capitalize on.
LeafLink has cemented its position as one of the major supply chain players in the growing legal cannabis market, connecting suppliers with retailers through its wholesale eCommerce marketplace. Currently, it commands over half of the US cannabis market, as well as having strong VC backing, and surpassing the $1B transaction threshold.
Since 2016, it has helped over 12,000 companies in 37 states build relationships, process payments, and ship products to retail, and it isn't slowing down any time soon. The company acquired Leaf Trade and Dama Financial, putting it in an even greater leadership position within the cannabis industry. Now the company looks set for an even greater future.
